Facts...

What is Lagos, and who are Lagosians

Lagos is a Cosmopolitan state with over 37 LGA, 100s of indegeneous Villages and Traditional rulers under the Guidance of Eleko Oba ridwan

Ikorodu, Ibeju,Lekki, Oworonshoki, Oshodi, Iba, Alimosho, IsaleEko (Island) Mushin , Okokomaiko, elegushi, EtiOSA etc

All this community are villages occupied by Yorubas, especially Egun, Iwori, Ilaje and other fishing and trading tribes


During the abolition of Slave trade, Two cities allowed British Navy free pasage to bring in intercepted slaves , LAGOS and FREETOWN , slaves got freedom, new identity and ability to start a fresh hence the likes of Herbert Macaulay , Wellington, Vivoh and many slave names in Isale eko

Long before British or Portuguese, Since the advent of Water transport, Eko, Lagos and environs and Ijebu played a critical roll in Yoruba Trans Atlantic trade, Ibadan traders bought farm product from Ekiti, Ondo, Oke Ogun, Ijesa , Osogbo etc , sold it to Ijebu , Ijebu traded with Eko people and Eko people sold directly at the beaches to any sailor

Eko ni baje

Lagos is a Portuguese word

If a personality from another tribe had made this sensitive post on social media,this thread would have been on fire with urchins wailing up and down!

Interesting

And it's like Tinubu's great grandmother was a powerful slave trader

Lagos means Lagoon in Portuguese

There is a Town called Lagos in Portugal

After they will say Tinubu built Lagos




Slave coast meaning that Lagos is originally owned by the British






But how would Nigerians know their history when it's government scrapped it from their school curriculum!

O boy. His great grandmother sold a lot of slaves to Brazil.

His family has been powerful for a long time now

He's wrong


Lagos is a Portuguese word and I think it has something to do with lagoon or so

She was part of the calamity that befell Nigeria because those slaves would have cursed the land tire and Lagos was the seat of power then.

Until a woman seats as a president in Nigeria, thats when the calamity would be broken and Nigeria will be free.

So it's not today that tinubu's adopted family started enslaving lagosians

Bola Ahmed has no blood relationship with the Tinubu family in Lagos either past or present, the family has said so severally and even had a book written tracing genealogy of all family members

That is not true

Lagos means lakes.

There is also lagos in Portugal

Say what you know,...he's from one dried and obscure village called iragbaji in today's osun state.

Exactly - and this is something anyone could easily verify by looking it up in a Portuguese-English dictionary. Besides, even if it were true, so what? Does the fact that English-speakers use the word "Germany" to refer to Deutschland now mean that Germany belongs to the British? Or does "Sverige" being called "Sweden" mean the Swedes are living on UK soil? A place having different names in different languages says absolutely nothing about who its indigenous inhabitants are or how it was founded.

Seun Kuti is just revealing his own ignorance and laziness by circulating this ridiculous, low-IQ piece of propaganda born of some semi-literate IPOB sympathiser.

That is utterly irrelevent as long as he was formally adopted into the family whose name he bears. Your obsession with "blood" says a lot more about your own Nazi-like fixations than it does about Bola Ahmed Tinubu's right to bear the name he does.

I don't think BAT is related to Tinubu the slave merchant even though they bear the same surname. I stand corrected though

Seun Kuti just wants to trend. His information is completely wrong.

Who adopted him? Did you see his adoption records?

Are you so lazy you can't do a quick Google search to receive the answers you pretend to seek? Go ahead and keep waiting for his adoption papers to be waved in your face - I'm sure that will happen right after you personally receive Obama's long-form birth certificate ...

Okay, Check my profile if you need help with your thesis, assignment, statement of purpose, dissertation, or personal statement.

The same politicians telling you GRV can't be Governor because his mum is from the South East.. they have wife's from the South East and are currently dating South East babes.

If its the turn of their children the narrative will change.

Will you keep quiet?

And is that an achievement? Just look at the pedigree of the children of the Yoruba maternal ancestor of Rhodes vivour for example. Far better than the dumb Ipob terrorist chinedu.

If any untrained dumb son insult the Yoruba tribe while living on Yoruba soil just because of his stupid Ungrateful toxic mother or something, such useless dumb child will have to go to the southeast for whatever position he wants there. Yeye dey smell. You can't hate us while living on our soil.

If na Psquare wey post this, we no go hear word.

They will be shouting for deportation of Seun Kuti.


On the topic, it is actually false information.


Goldcoast= Ghana. White folks took the gold.

Ivorycoast= Coted'ivore. White folks took the ivory.

Slavecoast= Nigeria, Togo, Benin Republic. White folks took the people.

While some African countries were selling other things to the white men, Nigeria sold her people.
Oba Kosoko of Lagos was against the abolition of slave trade.

Grateful for what exactly?

Did you give Igbos free house and shops?

F#cking entitled bast#rd!

some you are worse than the Nazis

Tribal bigots

Seun kuti is an omo ale. How can he refer to asiwaju's lagos as slave coast? Such bold disrespect and abuse of the yoruba culture and land. No real omoluabi will dare say such a thing.

You are Correct

It was his Adopted Mother Alhaja Magaji that had previously Married into the Tinubu family

Lo

Your fathers sold your ancestral lands to attend Owanbe parties and spray money to Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey & Shina Peter, you grow up, instead of you to hustle and know if you can buy the lands back, you sold the remaining one and relocate to Sango, Ikorodu and other suburbs and spray the rest to Wasiu Ayinde, Pasuma Wonder and Small Doctor. Now the buyers of your lands are expanding and consolidating, you begin to cry like babies and start constituting go back to your land nuisance. Oga we are in the lands that we bought from you and will live comfortable on it because we pay you completely and even pay extra while building. You sold your lands and still wants to be landlord, no way. Oga stop crying because you can never eat your cake and have it
